Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992:
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a number of rules regarding cable television as required by the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "Cable Act"). You may view the FCC FAQ concerning this Act at:

In this text you will find that it says: "Cable operators may
not prevent customers from using their own equipment if such
equipment is technically compatible with the cable system."

Here is an excerpt from the Telecommunications Act of 1996:
"SEC.629. COMPETITIVE AVAILABILITY OF NAVIGATION DEVICES.
(a) COMMERCIAL AVAILABILITY OF EQUIPMENT USED TO ACCESS SERVICES PROVIDED BY MULTICHANNEL VIDEO PROGRAMMING DISTRIBUTORS- The commission shall, in consultation with appropriate industry standard-setting organizations, adopt regulations to assure the commercial availability, to the consumers of multichannel video programming and other services offered over multichannel video programming systems, of converter boxes, interactive communications equipment, and other equipment used by consumers to access multichannel video programming and other services offered over multichannel video programming systems, from manufacturers, retailers, and other vendors not affiliated with any multichannel video programming distributor."

Please note, the units well sell are not cable descramblers. They are cable converters.
